http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24927 Multiple copies of the same application in the webapps dir causes manager to give NullPointerException Summary: Multiple copies of the same application in the webapps dir causes manager to give NullPointerException Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.14 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Webapps:Manager AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you make multiple copies of the same webapp within the webapp folder (without modifying the web.xml file) then this causes the manager webapp to crash. I had done this by accident when making a backup of an application I was working on, by doing cp -R scs scs_backup within the webapp folder, where scs was the webapp I was working on (not a WAR, just a bunch of jsps, servlets and classes). The result is that when tomcat is restarted, and an attempt is made to look at the manager webapp, it gives a null pointer exception. This is fixed by removing the copy, so I assume it's an issue to do with the two web.xml files being identical (or identical enough to cause the manager app problems). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
